GRATER.

SPEOIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 440,901, dated. Nvemlcler 18, 1890.

Application filed August 7 1890. Seriell N0. 361,350. (N0 model.)

T0 all whom z't may concern:

Be i'm known that I, FERDINAND A. SCHAETZ- KE, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of \Viseonsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Graers; and I clo hereby rleolare that the following is a full, clear, ancl exaet description thereof.

My invention relates to appliances for grating nutmegs, lemon-rinds, coeoanut-pulp, ancl such other commodities as are t0 be used for fiavoring or for foocl in oomminuted form; and my invention consists in certain peouliar ancl novel features of eonstruotion and arrangement, as hereinafter desoribed, and pointed 0ut in the appended claims.

In tl1e drawings, Figu1e 1 is a perspective view of a grater emboclying my invention, the grater proper being indieated in clotted 1ines. Fig. 2 is a, detachecl perspective view of the removable fastener for oho cletaohable grating device. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the grater. Fig.4 is a cletached plan view,partly in section and partly broken away, of the comneotion between the gr-ater-frame, tl1e grating devioe, ancl the holder for uniting saicl parts.

The objeet 0f my inventiou is t0 produce holding appliances f01 graters which shall seourely retain the grating devioe in proper operative position ancl yet permit the grating clevice to be easily detached when worn oun, and also t0 aocommoclate various lengths of gracing clevices without neeessitating any material alterations in tl1e struonure ancl arrangement of theholcling applianoes. These results I aecomplish by virtue of the consruction which I will now proceed to describe.

Referring to ehe clrawings, A A clesignate two arme o1 bare whioh extend parallel Witl1 eaeh other am]. eaoh 0f whioh is formed at one end With a U-shaped band B, which extends a1: right angles 130 the bare A. From the bends B extend arme O, the outer ende of which are turnecl inwardly to reoeive a handle D. N ear their outer ends the bare A are formed 011 their outer sicles with recesses 01 notches a a, for a purpose to be presently explained.

E designates the grating deviee. This device is shown as of semi-cylindrical form, and

it's longitudinal eclges are shown at e as bent inwarcl to embrace the bare A.

F desi,qnates a wire fastening, the opposite ende 0f which are bent into U formas shown a1: f, to embraco the bare A, ancl the oute1 arme of these bendsf ener slots e in the grater E, thus removably confining the grater to tl1e bars A. lt Will be seen that graters E of varying lengths ca11 be applied to the bars A, because oho variations in length Will be appreciable only a1: those parts of oho bars A whioh are adjaoent to the bends B, above (lescribed, and Will not affeet the aotion of oho attaching device F.

I have shown the bare A, bencls B, ancl arme C as formed of a single pieee of wire; laut it is obvious that the parts may be of wood or other material ancl eaoh 0f a separate piece sitably joined to the others. The grater F is also shown as 01? semi-cylindrioal form; but this is I10D essential to the spirio of my invention, as such graer may be of angular o1 fla form, as desired. The edges e 0f tlxe grater may be bent outwardly, if preferred, insteacl of inwardly. Moreover, tl1e bends B may be dispensed With, an l instead projeetions may be located at the upper encl 0f the grater, extending ab right angles to the bare A anal away from the grater-that is 130 say, that when the structure is hold horizontally With the grater uppermost, then upon whatever part the projections may loe formed they Will extend substanc-ially verc-ically downward. from the grater, so as to aot as stops 130 rest against the 1im or edge of the dish into whicl1 the gra'ted commodity is deposited, or t0 raise oho grater up, as from a talole.

'lhe ende of the grater may be 01 may not be wired without departing f1om the essential spirit 0f my inveution.

Having thus clesoribed my invention, what I clain1 as new therein, ancl clesire to seoure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An improvement in graters, consisting of side pieces provided Witl1 sockets o1 recesses acljaeent 130 their outer' ende, in combination With a holder having bent ende to engage said soekets and removably retain a grater thereon, substantially as set fortl1.

2. The combination,with the side pieces, the

pendentbends thereof,and the sockets formed In testimony that I c1ain1 the foregoing I thereon, 0f a grater having its edges ben1; t0 have hereunto Set my band, ab Milwaukee, in 10 embmce the side pieces, slotsformed in t.he the county of Milwaukee and State of Vis- 1ower end of the grater, and a holder bent; consin, in the presence 0f two witnesses.

at its ends to embrace the said side pieces FERDINAND A. SCI-IAETZKE- and enter the s1ots and sockets, and thus re- Witnesses: movably retain the grater upon the side pieces, H. G. NDERWOOD,
